Thanks To Wendy, Lorraine and Sue.

More donations have arrived with this fabulous quilt from Wendy Cadby. Unfortunately the wet weather meant that I had to take a photo inside which doesn't show it off to its best but it's beautiful and will be ideal for our flood quilt drive for Rochester. 
Lorraine Bradley donated another 13 beautifully knitted premmie and newborn baby jackets. 
Sue McPhee donated another tub of beautiful fabric as well as lots of lovely baby items including 4 knitted baby jackets,  3 dresses, 1 pair of booties,  3 pillowcases and 6 baby's blankets. 
Many  thanks for your generous support everyone.
